Band mutthi mein dil ko chhupaye baiThey hain
Hai bahana ke Mehndi lagaye baiThey hain
Hai bahana ke Mehndi lagaye baiThey hain
Without Mehndi or Henna we cannot imagine a bride, because the new bride will be treated as a lady of leisure until her Mehndi fades.
Ufff...yeh tadap...writing this article remebring sum1's palm...mehndi wali haath, don't surprise abhi meri shadi nahi huwi hai, Ekta, Preity, Nirmal, Firdous, Annu, Madhu, Shally, Anjali, ki aksar mehndi wali hatheliyan yaad aa jati haiin.
Mehndi is a ceremonial traditionally marked in India-Pakistan. The application of Mehndi in our culture is a sign of a joyous occasion almost used on celebratory occasion such as Eid, Diwali and Wedding. In our culture wedding is one that lasts for many days, and there Mehndi plays a main role for brides wear the lacy patterns of Mehndi instead of gold hand and feet ornaments, as well as especially prevalent among girls and women, applying Mehndi is considered beneficial and lucky, and always regarded as beautiful and blessed. Mehndi artists command a higher charge between 1000 to 5000 rupees just for one wedding.
In Pakistan Mehandi ceremonial days last for long time with expensive celebraties. (Right).
Now Mehndi turning East to West, not for wedding, ceremonial tradition or festival but TATTOOS fashion and Christian cross, now Mehndi is huge business in the Western World with the likes of Madonna, pop stars Gwen Stefani, supermodel Naomi Cambell, I don't know wheter Britny Spears fond of mehandi or not.
Now I have question about this globalization tattoos of Mehndi will not lessen the value of Mehndi tradition ?
